I vote for not using broadheads in targets?
I once knew a guy who's wife they called DoorKnob. Everybody got a couple turnsLOL
This is the 3rd year I have owned my crappy wet overgrown old cedar swamp land. I put in 4 food plots last year and they actually grew in the crappy soils. The goal was to differentiate my land from the neighbors and draw more deer onto my land giving my son and I more sightings. Holy crap did it work although we only chose to kill one last year letting loads of them walk. The damn deer have been digging through the snow all winter to get to the goodies too. I can' wait to plant this spring to amend my soils and then plant again in the fall.
I did learn that it took me far more than a couple of passes of tossing seed with an ATV to get this right, Man did I spend the do-ri-me on lime and fertilizer and I had to kill out many weeds with spray too. Opening up all the land was brutal too. Lots of animals seem to love me now but my goal of getting deer from the neighbors to my land while giving them an assortment of high quality food was reached. Self pat on the back to me.
So, in short, #2 for me. Now I am heading to the basement to mix some seed (clovers, grains, brassicas), weigh it, package it, mark it, and be ready for my spring plantings. I ordered all my seed this winter. What a FUN hobby food plotting has become for me.
BTW, I am adding 4 apple trees, 2 pear trees, and 25 Highbush Cranberry shrubs to the land this year. There is a dang science with costs associated with that too. I plan to add some more annually for many years. They arrive the last weekend in April. So much to do yet.
